Chapter 2248


    In the conference room, the tall and blond Kristoff, his subordinates, and a group of executives from Cross Group led by Penny sat separated on both sides of the long conference table.


    Kristoff was swearing at them unpleasantly. "You''re all Peking ingrates! You should be thankful that ourpany is willing to work with yourpany and share our cancer research results in exchange for yours. Also, Cross Group must give up 51% of shares to Novah Pharmaceutical Company in appreciation of our support to yourpany." Penny and the group of Cross Group executives nearly burst out inughter.


    Indeed, Novah Pharmaceutical Company was huge, and the market value of Cross Group was inferior to Novah Pharmaceutical Company. However, in terms of the cancer research results, the achievements made by Cross Group were beyond that of Novah Pharmaceutical Company.


    At that moment, Novah Pharmaceutical Company wanted Cross Group to share its research results under the pretext of coboration. They even whitewashed their intentions by making it favorable for them to obtain most of the shares of Cross Group.


    They were like a bunch of bandits raiding one''s home and then saying that they were there to take care of the owners.


    Devoid of emotions, Penny said coldly, "I''m sorry. We never wanted to coborate with you. Now that you have made such an unreasonable request, not only will we not agree, we no longer have any interest in talking with you. That''s all for today. Have a safe trip."


    As soon as Penny finished, she stood up.


    The group of senior executives next to her also stood up and was about to leave.


    However, Kristoff turned toward a burly and muscr subordinate next to him and pursed his lips.


    This subordinate was the strongest among all of Kristoff''s bodyguards. Nicknamed Sea Lion, his actual name was Vinson Ashford, and he was from the Marine Corps.


    Vinson understood his boss'' signal and walked toward the group of executives opposite them with a grim expression. He grabbed the shoulder of a male executive and said, "Our president, Mr. Young, hasn''t decided that it''s over. Get back to your seats!"


    As he spoke, he applied pressure on the man''s shoulder with his strong grip.


    Bang!


    The male executive of Cross Group was instantly pushed and pressed back onto his seat, his face showing immense pain. Everyone from Cross Group was shocked and greatly angered, whereas


    Penny became solemn.


    "Security!"


    At the scene, two security guards of Cross Group immediately pulled out their batons and rushed toward Vinson. Seeing that, Vinson grinned and said, "You asked for it!"


    He thrusted both his fists at the same time.


    Thud! Thud!


    He immediately sent the two security guards flying. They fell to the ground with blood on their faces and passed out. Penny and the others were horrified.


    Amidst all that, Kristoff gracefully


    said, "Ms. Smith, my bodyguards are either from the ckwater


    Mercenary Company or veterans


    from the Marine Corps. All of them are capable of killing. Those puny security guards of yours areno threat to them. I suggest that you sit down obediently and speak nicely to save yourselves fromN?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    embarrassment."


    Penny was shocked and angered. However, she was secretly anxious since her bodyguard, Ava, was a little unwell today. She didn''t expect things to go south just when she gave Ava a day off.


    She red at Kristoff. “Didn''t I make it clear? We won''t ept your terms, and we''ll never coborate with you! So what more is there to say?"


    Kristoff smiled conceitedly and


    casually said, "Ms. Smith, you


    must''ve misunderstood. I didn''t


    come here to ask for a coboration.


    Oh no.


    there''s no room for


    jel


    negotiations, Ms. Smith. You simply


    must agree to my conditions."


    After that, he tossed a contract toward Penny like he was throwing a banknote to a beggar on the street as he spoke. "You are aware of Novah Pharmaceutical Company''s influence and background. If you don''t want to suffer the


    consequences and make us


    your


    enemy, you should sign this contract


    dutifully and agree to this


    coboration!"


    "And what if I don''t?" Penny retorted coldly.


    Kristoff sneered, "Then all of you here are doomed. In fact, Cross Group will be doomed from now on!"


    His words left Penny and the others deeply disturbed.


    And it was at that critical moment, Nathan pushed open the door of the conference room with a loud bang and strode in with Colin and Kylie.


    You son of a b*tch, you scared my wife."
